* gpg.sgml: Fix a few missing semicolons in & entities. Noted by
Christian Biere. Some minor grammar fixes. Remove the "host -l pgp.net | grep wwwkeys" advice since the nameserver no longer all allow zone transfers. Replace it with a mention of hkp://subkeys.pgp.net. Note that BZIP2 defaults to compression level 6.
